Extending previous papers of Coleman-Fabrizio-Owen [1], [2] and Oncu-Moodie [3], we give a derivation of the thermodynamic restrictions on the constitutive relations of an electrically polarizable and finitely deformable heat conducting elastic continuum, interacting with the electric field. The constitutive equations include an evolution equation for the heat flux; the latter and the temperature obey a frame-invariant form of Cattaneo's equation.
